Count words roughly. Let's write.
We need no markdown, so plain text.
Structure: paragraphs maybe but no markdown.
Let's draft ~220 words.
Count words manually.
Draft:
"Bitcoin processes roughly 7 transactions per second, which makes it slower than many newer chains but its block time of ten minutes provides strong finality and security. Ethereum currently handles about 15‑30 transactions per second on its base layer, and layer‑2 solutions can push that far higher, though congestion still spikes fees during peak demand. Bitcoin’s fees are usually low for simple transfers but can rise sharply when the network is busy, while Ethereum’s gas fees are notoriously volatile, often costing several dollars for a basic swap. Bitcoin’s primary use case is a decentralized store of value and a censorship‑resistant payment rail, whereas Ethereum positions itself as a programmable settlement layer for smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. In terms of ecosystem size, Bitcoin boasts the largest market cap, deepest liquidity, and the most widespread institutional adoption, yet its on‑chain programmability is limited. Ethereum hosts the biggest developer community, the most dApps, and the richest token economy, but it faces ongoing scaling challenges and a more complex upgrade roadmap. Both assets have proven resilience, but each carries distinct trade‑offs that suit different risk profiles. If you could only hold one for 5 years, which would you pick? Comment below!
